    5. Properties

    Property Description
    General
    Meshes Here you can define which meshes will be recognized
    by the mesh cutting list. If a mesh is not in the list, it
    will not show up in the mesh cutting list.
    Also the standard height and length for each mesh are
    shown here.
    You can add meshes through the mesh catalog, which
    you can start by pushing the Select button.
    You can delete a mesh again, by pushing the Delete
    button.
    Placement Here you can define how the meshes are placed on
    the list. You can choose between:
    by row and columns: You can define how many rows
    and columns will be shown on the list.
    by distance: You can define horizontal and vertical
    distance between the mesh views on the list.

    Maximum views per drawing Here you can define how many mesh views will be
    shown on the list.

    Drawing margins Here you can define the margins of the paper. You can
    define four margins (top, bottom, right and left).
    Important: If a template is placed on the list, the margin
    has to take this into account. That will not happen
    automatically.

    Rows and columns Here you can define how many rows and columns will
    be shown on the list.

    Distances between the views Here you can define horizontal and vertical distance
    between the mesh views on the list.

    list. You have following options:

    opened after the creation of the mesh has been
    finalized.

    Close dialog automatically Here you can define if the dialog closes automatically
    after the creation of the mesh has been finalized.

    Attributes On this tab page you can define how the individual
    parts of the mesh presentation, incl. dimensions, text,
    lines, hatches, look like.
    What to do to set this up.
    If the standard doesnt match your wanted result, you
    can change it by double clicking directly on the object
    in the drawing and change it and save it under your
    own attribute file.
    To use your own setting, you just have to select your
    own attribute file in the dropdown list on this page and
    you will get your result.

    7. Additional information
    - If any changes have been done in the model after creation of the mesh cutting list, it will not
    be up to date anymore and needs to be recreated. You can delete the current created list or
    mark it somehow as old.
    This will be handled in the future, but not now.
